Discuss Fitting a Blanking Cap to a redundant waste pipe in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

Hello folks

I have what seems to be a standard 40mm white PVC pipe that used to hold the washing machine drain hose, which I wanted to cap off to avoid any water overflowing from (as my kitchen drainage seem to get blocked up easily, and it will probably be replaced within the next year).
I bought a McAlpine T23U as, according to Wickes it fits a 40mm pipe, but it seems very loose on the end of the pipe. I notice from McAlpine's technical drawing https://mcalpineplumbing.com/sites/default/files/uploads/drawings/T23U.pdf that it shows a 44.5mm internal diameter for the cap, which explains why it feels loose.
Have I bought the wrong thing, or should I have glued/siliconed the end of the pipe into the cap ?
 
Have you tightened the fitting ?

As part of a slow DIY bathroom refit I've removed the old toilet from the original location next to the soil pipe (and obviously capped off the branch) and plan to place it the opposite end of the room. I was pretty lucky to find a 110mm sewer waste pipe below the old sink which is the new...

Afternoon, our bath waste pipe in our rented property has started leaking slightly when we shower. We've narrowed it down to a loose screw in the centre of the plughole. My understanding is that this screw being loose means that water is able to leak out between the bath waste and the waste...
